Qiao An’s polite smile faded completely at the truth.

She had thought that her first love for five years was a fairytale kingdom that he had personally woven for her. In the end, it was Lu Mo who gave her that beauty.

Qiao An was done.

“Lu Mo, are you showing off to me?” she said coldly.

Lu Mo pretended to be innocent and shook her head shyly. “Qiao An, I don’t really don’t mean to brag to you. I just love Xiaoran too much, so when I face anyone, I can’t help but mention my past with him.”

Qiao An realized that she was jealous that Lu Mo could stay by Huo Xiaoran’s side for so many years.

Yet all she had was a bitter long-distance relationship and a one-sided love.

“Lu Mo, I lost,” Qiao An said hoarsely.

“I announce that I’m withdrawing from Huo Xiaoran’s life. You don’t have to treat me as your love rival and chat with me.”

She stood up and handed her bag to Lu Mo. “This is my apology gift to you. If you like it, accept it. If not, throw it away.”

Lu Mo’s eyes were originally filled with disdain, but when she saw that it was the latest limited edition LV bag, she took it with a smile.

“Qiao An. Thank you.”

Qiao An said, “I don’t want to apologize to you in the future. But you have to keep your boyfriend in line. Tell him not to show up in front of me at every turn.” She stalked off.

Lu Mo was stunned on the spot, her face burning slightly.

She had deliberately tainted Qiao An’s beautiful first love. Hopefully, someone as proud as her would completely leave Huo Xiaoran.

Qiao An left the tea bar and turned on the surveillance software installed in her phone. She put on her Bluetooth earpiece and listened.

At first, there was a lot of noise. It should be the sound of Lu Mo walking on the street with her bag.

When Qiao An got home, she lay on her back and almost fell asleep when the sharp doorbell rang.

Startled, Qiao An sat bolt upright.

Sensing that it was a voice coming from the surveillance software, Qiao An listened quietly.

Lu Mo’s excited voice came from the other end. “Mom, you’re really amazing.” A long string of flattering words came out of Lu Mo’s mouth, making Qiao An feel a little uncomfortable.

She thought that Lu Mo was a cold and upright person. She didn’t expect her to be so good at bootlicking.

Then, Mother Lu’s arrogant voice said, “Momo, don’t worry about dating Xiaoran. Mom promises you that no one can break you up.”

Lu Mo said unconfidently, “Mom, as long as Qiao An isn’t eliminated, I’ll feel very uneasy.”

Qiao An felt a chill run down her spine.

Mrs. Lu said, “She was lucky to escape last time. If we attack too frequently, she will be suspicious.”

Your engagement party with Xiaoran is coming soon. She shouldn’t be able to cause any trouble at this time. Prepare for the engagement party now and leave Qiao An’s matter to me.”

A stream of ice poured into Jo Ann.

It turned out that the last time she was intercepted and assassinated by a few hooligans, she was not being robbed at all. Instead, Mrs. Lu and Lu Mo had conspired to take her life.

Fortunately, Huo Xiaoran saved her. Otherwise, she would definitely have died on the spot.

Qiao An had preserved the evidence of Mother Lu and her daughter’s murder. After making sure that they had separated and that there was no sound in the earpiece, Qiao An took it off.

The next day, Qiao An arrived at the largest bodyguard company in the capital.

The boss saw her and introduced her enthusiastically. “Miss, do you need a bodyguard?”

“I need the best bodyguard you have here.”

The boss led Qiao An to a group of bodyguards. “These bodyguards are the best we have. See if you’re satisfied?”

Qiao An walked over and chose a young man who looked weaker.

“How good are you?” she asked.

The young man answered her, “Sister, although I look the worst, I’m the best here.”

“Try me.”

After a few rounds, the young man beat up the other burly men.

“I’ll take him.”

Qiao An paid the high labor fee and brought the young man home.

“From now on, you have to claim to be my brother. I, on the other hand, have been in a little trouble lately. Someone is always trying to murder me. You have to protect me twenty-four hours a day. Do you understand?”

“Sister, I understand.”

Qiao An looked at the young man’s uniform and shook her head. “Come with me to the mall and buy you some clothes.”

Qiao An led the young man to the high street. There were dense shopping malls. She chose one at random and stepped into it.

“Sister, this mall is quite expensive,” the young man reminded him.

Qiao An looked around and saw the label of the Huo City Group on the back. Only then did she know that she had entered the most expensive mall.

But since they were here, it would be ungracious to retreat.

She could only go through with it. “Let’s go.”

She brought him to the men’s clothing counter and had just chosen a few clothes for the youth when Huo Xiaoran and Huo Zhou walked over.

Apparently the two of them had noticed her.

Huo Xiaoran’s gaze landed on the dark male outfit in her arms, and his eyes darkened.

“Who are you buying the clothes for?” he asked.

Qiao An glanced at the young man. “My brother.”

Huo Xiaoran glanced at the youth beside him and saw that he was fair, delicate, and exuded a feminine beauty. He was the type of person that girls were crazy about. However, this beauty has nothing in common with the features of Qiao An and Qiao He.

The coldness in Huo Xiaoran’s heart spread.

“Just how many brothers do you have?” he asked coolly.

“Three or four,” she said offhandedly.

“Why did I hear from Qiao He that he’s your only brother of similar age?”

Only then did Qiao An remember that Qiao He had been recuperating at Huo Xiaoran’s house for the past two days. He just didn’t keep his mouth shut. Who knew how much he had revealed to Huo Xiaoran?

Embarrassed, Qiao An tried to smooth things over. “Oh, that’s a blood brother. This one’s not.”

Huo Xiaoran’s expression instantly turned sinister.

Qiao An was speechless. What right did this guy have to be angry with her?

Did he have anything to do with her dating other men? Didn’t he have a girlfriend himself?

However, for some reason, when she thought of how he had risked his life to save her twice, she felt guilty.

She threw the clothes in her arms onto the shelf and grabbed the young man’s hand to escape.

“The clothes at this counter don’t suit you. Let’s go to another one,” she said.

Huo Xiaoran’s sharp gaze landed on the young man’s hand. If that gaze was a knife, the young man would probably not be able to keep his hand.

However, Huo Zhou still wanted to see the world in chaos.

“Could this be Qiao An’s new boyfriend?”
